He looks lovely! Sure you will have lots of fun :)

He looks lovely! You'll have a great time and hope the introducing goes well. All I could think was I have the same rug in pink, lol:D

Would be great because there are far too many who don't - it's dangerous for everyone!

If you and the horse enjoy jumping then I say keep it up - but if not, there's no point imo

I would be as she wasn't given permission, how would she like it if you cut off her horse's tail? But it's done, and the hair will grow back so I guess it's not worth stressing about.

Absolutely possible, one of my boys (black) has all red and the other (chesnut) has all purple. Looks lovely actually, I got everything I need from the local tack shop, but online shops are great too. If I need to buy online I use www.onlineforequine.co.uk

Right now mine are unclipped and in lightweights with no necks on warmer days, and if its particularly cold (or windy, we're on a hill) then they have their mediumweights, which have necks. At night they're stabled and the Welshie has a light stable rug whilst the Welsh x Arab has a mediumweight...

There us a lovely mini down the road in great shape - the woman who owns her will walk her around the village and lunge which seems to work fine. She is turned out with two shetlands however, so does get a chance to play. Strip grazing is worth a try

agree with down the side of the boot. if wearing jodphur boots or long ones are quite tight, under the 'bridge' (i guess) of the foot!

I have reported, just waiting for them to get back:)

My kids are feeling a lot better about it now. They were shaken but have since been on the horses and today I was lunging the Welshie at a canter and my daughter was holding the lunge line (with my help), shouting instructions and he was good as gold for her! She then asked if she could canter...

I have two natives like this - they are both fed high fibre cubes but one will do the occasional poo on a ride never wee but the other did 3 wees and 6 poos on a 1 and a half hour hack the other day, they're both healthy.

Since this has happened I've found out from my friend the mare is pregnant, but she's clearly too far along for it to be 6 weeks ago. Tbh she was quite podgy when she got in the field, but it was too small of a belly to be obviously pregnancy, I just thought it was a grass belly. But there are...

My mums always been like this. She had horses when she was younger but just kind of got on with it and never had any of what she calls 'fancy terms'. She had all very hardy natives who never had a vet bill and wouldn't know what a rug was if it slapped them in the face. I remember when she...

Lead around yard to get them used to surroundings, if other horses introduce them, I usually do it over the fence, and if they seem happy after a bit (you decide how long) I just bite the bullet and put them in together. Good luck!
